How to Generate an SSS PRN Online

Quick answer

To generate an SSS PRN, log in to My.SSS, open the payment menu, choose to generate a PRN, pick the months you will pay and your monthly salary credit, then save the PRN. You use this number when you pay at SSS or a payment partner. PRNs are for voluntary, self-employed, OFW and non-working spouse members. Employed members do not need one, because their employer pays.

Decide how much you will pay. Your contribution depends on your monthly salary credit (MSC). Use our SSS contribution calculator to check the amount.

Frequently asked questions

What is an SSS PRN?

A PRN (Payment Reference Number) is a number SSS gives you for a specific contribution payment. It links your payment to your record, so it posts correctly.

Do employed members need a PRN?

No. Employers pay contributions for their workers using their own employer PRN. You only need a PRN if you pay for yourself.

How long is an SSS PRN valid?

A PRN is tied to the months and amount you chose and has a due date. Generate a new one for the next payment.

Can OFWs generate a PRN from abroad?

Yes. OFWs can log in to My.SSS from any country and generate a PRN. Then pay through an SSS-accredited channel abroad or in the Philippines. See SSS for OFWs.

Can I pay several months with one PRN?

You can choose more than one month when you generate it, within the limits SSS allows.
